Postgraduate Student Profile
Leo Lymburner: The role of riparian vegetation in sediment / nutrient transport processes

Supervisors

  • Dr Peter Hairsine, CSIRO

CRCCH project links

Personal background

  • BSc (Hons) 2nd Class, 1st Division, Macquarie University
  • BSc Macquarie University

Anticipated research outcomes/products

  • Assess the suitability of using high spatial resolution remotely-sensed data to assess riparian vegetation and land use adjacent to low order streams in the Fitzroy Catchment
  • A catchment inventory of riparian vegetation in the Fitzroy Catchment
  • A map identifying areas with little or no riparian vegetation that require bush regeneration
“My project will assess the possibility of using remotely-sensed data to assess land-use and riparian vegetation at the whole-of-catchment scale. In association with other research, this could provide information about minimum riparian buffer widths adjacent to differing land-uses. I will also examine the correlation between parameters derived from the remotely-sensed data with those required by sediment and nutrient transport models.”
